CDI Presents Papers at Engineering Conference in Honduras
CDI presented two papers at the Second Annual Engineering Conference at the Technical University of Honduras (UTH) in Tegucigalpa on December 4th and 5th 2008. The first paper was addressed to an audience of representatives from local industry and focused on how the Mission-Directed Work Teams (MDW) principles were instrumental in delivering improvements to Quality, Speed, Cost, Safety and People development and drew from our company’s experiences around the world in diverse business sectors and in different work cultures. Specific attention was placed on how the Latin American companies could benefit from the program. The second paper was delivered to an audience of academics from students to professors and described how an organization (academic, business, government) needed to create a conducive culture for an improvement program to flourish. Both papers were presented by Dr Ian Matheson of CDI Holdings. Although the slides were prepared in Spanish, Ian delivered his lecture in English and Rosa Zapata of CDI Latin America obliged by providing a running translation. Rosa is a professor at the university, so she had an excellent understanding of both the needs of the conference attendees and also the MDW program.

"Lean is a mind set. Lean is not a list of things to do and it's not a set of tools to use. Lean is a people-centred system committed to the continuous elimination of waste everywhere while adding value for customers. Change does not take place by edicts on the wall, but rather through everyday conversation. MDW leads that!"
